Slow Sunday

Nov 03, 2019 22:22


Despite the early morning wakeup call from Sky and tiger (4:30), we survived the time change. When I did get up at 5:30 (and I was hoping too) I could see the sunlight just in the eastern sky. It didn’t seem so dark at 7 this morning. It actually seemed brighter.  When I got home from bingo this afternoon it was still light out (I left the nursing home later than usual) so I was right about it not getting dark exactly at 4. Of course it was dark by 5.

Siduri and I were discussing the possibility of doing away with the time change. I was just looking at some articles from the spring of this year. I didn’t get far.

I never made it to the gym. I spent most of the time before the nursing home either on the computer writing the email to Karyn in Colorado, or doing the crossword puzzles. Did I mention they were addictive?

Around 1:15 I left for the nursing home but made a stop at dunking donuts for my first coffee of the day I think. Now that I think about that can’t be right. I got to the nursing home a short time later. Recreation Bob was there and we caught up with each other. He showed me his vacation pictures to the Dominican Republic. We then got set up for bingo but didn’t start until after 2.

We had 15 players today and only three or 4 of them won. One of the residents won three times and the 102 year old Grace finally won a few games. Two of the male residents finally won some games too.



Bob and I were talking with Nurse Jennifer about Labor practices of the local supermarkets and eventually we were discussing personality conflicts with certain people in the DTC. That’s one of the reasons I left so late from the nursing home.

My hope was to go and see Liz but she was out with two of her grandsons. They were at the Bridgeport cabaret. I don’t know what they saw but she did send me pictures. I will move them to a folder tomorrow.

I stopped at the grocery store to pick up diner (didn’t feel like having chicken again) nor did I feel like thawing the meat I do have in the freezer. I also got some creamer for the coffee. I couldn’t go without it any more.

Oh Today was the NY marathon. I asked Jim if he was going to watch it he said no. I also asked why he didn’t run it in it and he said he wasn’t ready for that kind of race. The last one he walked it. Our nephew Rogier was in it. I don’t know what his final time was. I will tomorrow.

I had a wonderful phone call from Mama tonight. She is still fighting a cold. She has had it since her flight a week ago.  The main conversation was about the decluttering. We talked about her flight home and other activities.

My hope is to go back out there in the latter half of the spring. Let’s hope that I can.

Well I need to go to sleep.
